Used them too but haven't owned one for many years. WHen
I'm doing a service net such as the maritime mobile service
net or a traffic net I'll usually have two slates going.
One is used with cards for a traffic list, the other which
is a full sheet is for check-ins. I used to use an open
back slate for this later function.
I find a computer quite easy for this and prefer to use it,
but it's doable on a slate. I'm glad I haven't had to do it
since I relocated as I lost my open back slate to the fire.
I had to do everything with a slate for quite awhile as the
only computer I had at that time was downstairs and the
shack was upstairs. I used a tape recorder as a backup as
well <g>.
